Our prediction for this Coupe de la Ligue match:

Monaco

Match Time & Date:

12/12/2017

20:05 GMT

Prediction: 2-1

Caen

Stade Louis II will host Tuesday’s football match between Monaco and Caen. Les Rouges et Blancs aim to kick off their Coupe de la Ligue campaign in style and seeing that they have slim chances of defending their Ligue 1 trophy, Leonardo Jardim’s men are likely to take the match very seriously. Monaco are a real force to be reckoned with at home and regardless of which players will be deployed in the starting line-up, we predict the hosts will make it to the quarter-finals of the cup competition. Caen, on the other hand, set up a meeting with Monaco by beating Lorient in their opener, but they face an uphill task in Tuesday’s clash against Radamel Falcao and Co. Caen are not regarded as good travelers and we predict the visitors will return home empty-handed. In their last meeting at Stade Louis II Monaco recorded a 2-0 win over Caen.

Highlighted Player (Radamel Falcao):

Radamel Falcao, nicknamed the “Colombian Tiger”, is considered one of the best players in the history of Colombian football. The 177-cm-tall attacker is well known for his brilliant finishing and his header technique gives him an advantage in aerial battles with opposition defenders. Falcao was born in Santa Marta, Colombia on 10 February, 1986 and he started his senior career at Lanceros Boyaca. He played for Argentine giants River Plate between 2005 and 2009 and in 2009 he joined Porto. After scoring 41 goals in 51 league appearances for the Dragons, Falcao signed for Atletico Madrid on 18 August 2011 for a fee of €40 million. The Colombian attacker helped los Rojiblancos win Europa League trophy in 2012, scoring 12 goals in the process. He played for Monaco in the 2013/2014 Ligue 1 campaign and in 2014 he signed a loan deal with Manchester United. He scored just 4 goals in 26 league appearances for the Red Devils and was later loaned to Chelsea before returning to Stade Louis II.

Highlighted Team (Caen):

Caen are a French football club that compete in Ligue 1. Caen were founded in 1913 under the name of The Stade Malherbe Caennais and back then Stade de Venoix was the club’s home ground. Nowadays SMC play their home games at Stade Michel d’Ornano and the capacity of the venue is 20.453.

Caen finished the 1991/1992 Ligue 1 campaign in fifth position in the standings, 14 points behind champions Marseille and that is considered the club’s best result in the French top flight. In 2005 Caen made it to the Coupe de la Ligue final, but Strasbourg proved to be a big catch for Patrick Remy’s troops.

The Stade Michel d’Ornano outfit play their home games in red shirts with blue stripes (vertical), while gray and black are their away colours. Nicolas Seube is the club’s most capped player and it has to be noted that he made no less than 477 appearances for SMC during his spell with the club.
